The Strikers brought both their top offensive and defensive games to the tournament which in the end earned them a spot to the ASA National Championship being held in Chattanooga, TN in late July. The PA Strikers U12 Team is the only Pennsylvania team attending the Nationals. The team will be playing against some of the best teams in the country.

The PA Strikers have played in various tournaments last fall, this spring and summer and now have a record of 63-14-1. This hard-working team of 12 year olds will ultimately compete in roughly 12 Tournaments between the months of April and August.
